Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscesses have been mostly seen in Asian countries, but recently its incidence in the US and other developed countries is on the rise. It carries high morbidity and mortality if not detected and treated adequately. This case describes the clinical course of a 45-year-old man who was found to have multiple liver abscesses due to Klebsiella pneumoniae and developed septic shock. Early drainage and use of appropriate antibiotics lead to full clinical recovery in the patient.
